Annual PCB Studies




Association Connecting Electronics Industries® hasannouncedtherelease of three annual PCB studies: 2006-2007IndustryAnalysisand Forecast for Flexible Circuits in NorthAmerica,2006-2007Industry Analysis and Forecast for Rigid PCBsandLaminates in NorthAmerica, and Technology TrendsforPrinted Circuit Boardsfor the Year 2006.

The flexible circuits study provides data and analysisontrendsin the North American flexible circuit industry,includinggrowthestimates and sales history, number offabricators,globalfootprint of North American fabricators,industryend-marketsserved, trends in materials, sales and producttype, andmore.According to this report, flex circuit production inNorthAmericahas declined, but companies in the region are growingduetoworldwide sales.

The rigid PCB and laminates study coversindustrygrowthforecasts, industry end-markets served, trendsinhigh-densitymultilayer boards, production mix trends, newversusexistingbusiness growth, number and value of PCBs andpanelproduced, alongwith additional data. IPC has estimated theU.S.rigid PCB marketin 2006 at approximately $4.3 billion. Duringtheeconomic downturnafter 2000, worldwide rigid PCBproductiondeclined sharply butbegan recovery in 2003. By 2006, ithadsurpassed its 2000 level,but the U.S. share had plunged tolessthan 10 percent. Growth inthe PCB industry worldwide over thenexttwo years is expected tobe modest but steady.

The technology trends study presents data and analysisontrendsin rigid PCB conductor width and spacing, metallicfinishes,soldermask usage, multilayer production, laminatethicknessandtemperature, surface mounting, fine-pitch technologyandotherleading-edge technologies. Survey participants indicatedthat21percent of all laminates used were halogen-free, withanemergingmarket for halogen-free laminates, particularlyinconsumerelectronics. With this technology in use, the marketdemandwillcontinue to drive production growth.
